Abstract

We surveyed departments nationally to better understand the extent of scientific opportunities and experiences for undergraduate psychology students. Results showed intradepartmental variability, but overall students can expect 7 courses that offer research experiences in the typical psychology curriculum. Nonetheless, research is often not the primary course focus; some students must wait until their junior year to take such a course, and most such courses are elective, not required. We discuss implications for departments' curricula and the goals and outcomes for undergraduate education as well as future research directions.
